It does look like it has single-entry accounting with an optional double-entry mode, even if it isn't based on the accounting equation like hledger is: https://actualbudget.org/docs/transactions/transfers

Yes, it's very similar! However, hledger's posting dates are a little more flexible, as you can have anything from no additional dates to one date per individual posting (debit or credit) in the transaction. This might perhaps be

I used to use GnuCash, but a small yet constant irritation for me was how the entry's date (that is, the date when I authorized the transaction) wouldn't always match the clearing date of the transaction as reported by my bank in

This point - that EMV cards have the effect of siphoning money out of many countries to the USA in payment processing fees - is one of the primary motivations behind the development of Wero[1]. For those that haven't come across it yet

Why should they pay for a licence? Once a technology reaches such ubiquity, there's a strong case for it being part of the technical infrastructure of that society. To me, that means that governments have a responsibility to ensure t

I see what you mean. An assumption in Minecraft-style games is the character stays the same size, but this needn't be the case. Your character could get smaller the further you dig down in order to match the decreasing size of the inte

I see a vulnerability in that - spoofing location data is not hard. I really hope this doesn't lead down the path of transport operators introducing DRM-like rootkits, but unfortunately the concept of relying on data from devices owned

The problem with these scooters is that people leave them in awkward places, such as where they block the pavement or a wheelchair ramp. Their wheels lock when not in use and they're really heavy too, which means that some people can&#

I agree with you with regard to convenience, but what about security? For the application of railway station lockers, one can assume that they will be under CCTV or other monitoring. I am no expert in locks, but presumably an electronic loc

I'm writing this from my own Xperia 5 I device, and I can corroborate some of your complaints. Most of the frustrations can be resolved by liberal use of third-party apps from F-Droid. Lawnchair and the Fossify suite make the basic exp

Ironically, the most prominent advances have not actually been in cryptocurrencies themselves but rather in the traditional financial institutions that interact with them. For instance, there are now dozens of products such as cryptocurrenc

> They should prioritise violent crime. I just want to point out that theft can be violent. In England and Wales, burglary is considered to be a more severe crime if house was occupied, due to the psychological effects on the victims.

I am pretty sure that the government did not directly instruct websites to remove protest footage in the case you are referring to. There is substantial ambiguity in the Online Safety Act, so it is only natural that companies that don'

OK, 9x the value of your property as liquid wealth is nice, but you'll still need to pay it back eventually, won't you?

Do they actually walk out with more, though? Looking at the 'businesses for sale' listings here in the UK, I can see most of the hairdressing salons have an asking price of between 2x and 10x the statutory minimum wage. So even if

If your mortgaged house depreciates while you are still paying off the mortgage, you still need to pay the original, un-depreciated amount. You'll also probably need to pay interest accumulated during the time the property was mortgage

How does that work? Mortgaging is selling a portion (in an abstract sense) of a house for cash, with an obligation to buy that portion back in installments. So parent has mortgaged their 100k house for a million - now what? How do they get

You're saying that all the video game retailers need to do is use the correct Merchant Category Code, but which one is that? A sexually explicit video game seems to match code 5816 ("Digital Goods: Games") exactly. There does

I fully agree with you with regard to Reddit misinformation. However, to the extent that a boycott on Mastercard and VISA would be successful, I believe it would have almost the same effect on Stripe and PayPal. If it's PayPal and Stri

I don't think it is yet. I set up a GBP payment with GoCardless last month, and it was fulfilled by a Direct Debit[1] mandate. It would be fantastic if GoCardless have already added support for Wero, but I suspect they are still using

I feel as if the time spent by each passenger walking to the right boarding area could easily surpass the dwell time of an extra stop or two. Consider a metro system with trains 70 m long. With 10 m of space between the two boarding areas,

In the BTCC, there was a similar situation for a while: in one of the races, the best-perfoming half of the pack would start at the back of the grid, and the worst-performing half at the front of the grid - but in-order within the two group
